Positioned in Suzuki's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2009 Suzuki Intruder M800 utilizes a 805 cc (49.1 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 52.3 HP (38.2 kW) at 600 rpm while maximum torque reaches 66.4 Nm (49 lb-ft) at 4,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 65 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Intruder M800 measures 269 kg (593 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.19 HP/kg (5.14 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 700 mm (27.6 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,655 mm (65.2 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 15.5-liter (4.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
